Cautions for Use
Take care not to drop or knock the unit or put a lot of pressure on it.
•Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in, as the shock may 
cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.
•Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your camera. While being 
stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.
•Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip, causing the camera to fall and be damaged.•We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer to 
protect your camera.
Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as 
microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
•
If you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera may be 
disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
•Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely 
affecting the pictures and sound.
•Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields 
created by speakers or large motors.
•Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the 
camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.
•If the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning 
properly, turn the camera off and remove the ba ttery or disconnect AC adaptor (optional). Then 
reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.
Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
•If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may 
be adversely affected.
Always use the supplied cords and cables.  If you use optional accessories, use the 
cords and the cables supplied with them.
Do not extend the cords or the cables.
Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals.
•
If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the 
surface finish may peel off.

disconnect the power plug from the outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry soft 
cloth.
• When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergents, etc., to clean  the camera, since it may deteriorate the external case or the coating may peel off.

than usual at first. However, the picture will re turn to normal brightness when the internal 
temperature of the camera increases.

About the LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is em ployed to produce the LCD monitor screen. 
However, there may be some dark or bright  spots (red, blue or green) on the screen. 
This is not a malfunction. The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective 
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be 
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
